First Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 1, the combined golf equipment case according to thefirst embodiment of the present invention comprises a cover 10 and abase 20, both defining a closed storage space for receiving golfequipment when closing. The cover 10 and the base 20 are both formedinto a “U” shape. The cover 10 is essentially composed of an annular rim12 and a bulge portion 13 that bulges upwardly from the periphery of theannular rim 12. The base 20 has a rim 22 that is mated with the annularrim 12 of the cover 10. The shape and size of the annular rim 12 arematched with those of the rim 22 of the base 20 so that a smooth profileof case body can be obtained when the cover 10 and the base 20 close.Also, rollers 21 for assisting in pushing and pulling the case can beprovided at the rear end of the base 20, and a handle 11 can be providedon the top of the cover 10 for carrying the case.

In the first embodiment, a combination of pivot pin 43 and pivot hole 44is used as the pivoting device. In other words, the cover 10 and thebase 20 can be combined to form an integrated case body, and the cover10 can be lifted up from the base 20 and close. The detailed structuresof the pivot pin 43 and the pivot hole 44 are shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.The pivot hole 44 is formed on a metal sheet 42, which can be processedby the bending molding, etc., and the pivot pin 43 is formed on anothermetal sheet 41. The pivot pin 43 can be inserted into the pivot hole 44in the arrow direction as shown in FIG. 2 so as to achieve the functionof pivotal connection.

A plurality of pivot holes 44 are provided on one side of the annularrim 12. The metal sheets 42 are riveted to the cover 10 with the pivotholes 44 protruding over the annular rim 12 of the cover 10 so thatthere is sufficient mounting and moving space to facilitate the pivotalconnection. The same number of pivot pins 43 as the pivot holes 44 areprovided on the opposing side of the rim 22 of the base 20, and themetal sheets 41 thereof are also riveted to the base 20. The pluralityof pivot pins 43 of the base 20 are connected to the corresponding pivotholes 44 of the cover 10 so that the pivot pins 43, after inserted intothe pivot holes 44, can rotate to lift up the cover 10 from the base 20,which facilitates receiving and taking out the golf equipment. Namely, acase body is thus constituted.

FIGS. 5(A), 5(B) and 5(C) are schematic diagrams showing the combinationof the cover and the base by the pivot holes and the pivot pinsaccording to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5(A)shows the cover 10 and the base 20 in a separate state.

One endof the flexible liner 30 is fixed to the inside of the cover 10 in asewed or riveted manner. After the cover 10 is combined with the base20, the other end of the flexible liner 30 is connected to thecorresponding base 20 in a sticking or buckling manner so that theflexible liner 30 is connected to the base 20 and can be easilydetached. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the position of theflexible liner 30 inside with the cover opening according to the presentinvention. The flexible liner 30 can strengthen the pivotal connectionbetween the cover 10 and the base 20, effectively avoid the loosingtherebetween and stabilize the combination structure.

As shown in FIG. 6, the outer diameter of the bulge portion 13 of thecover 10 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the inside 24 ofthe base 20. In this way, as shown in FIG. 8, after detached, the cover10 can be reversed to be stacked on the inside 24 of the base 20;namely, the bulge portion 13 of the cover 10 is received in the inside24 of the base 20. Therefore, the size of the cover 10 and the base 20is reduced so that the package size for conveyance and the spaceoccupied can be reduced to save the conveyance or delivery cost.

A plurality of drawbolt locks 35 are provided on the other sides of thecover 10 and the base 20 that are opposite to the sides where the pivotpins 43 and the pivot holes 44 are provided. As shown in FIG. 9(A), whenthe cover 10 is pivotally connected with the base 20, the cover 10 andthe base 20 are lockingly connected by the drawbolt locks 35 so as toavoid unwittingly opening the cover and the base, achieve the effect offastening the case body and facilitate a user's actual use. The drawboltlock can be a type of drawbolt lock that can be further locked so as toavoid other persons' arbitrarily opening the cover and the base. Thedrawbolt lock as shown in FIG. 9(A) is a key type drawbolt lock and thushas a keyhole. However, the present invention is not limited to such adrawbolt lock, and other locking methods can also be applied.Alternatively, only one or several drawbolt locks adopt the locking typedrawbolt lock, while the others adopt the drawbolt lock having nolocking function.
